Iran claims drone strikes on US bases

Iran’s military has claimed that it launched a fresh wave of drone attacks targeting US military facilities in Bahrain and Jordan, escalating tensions across the region.

According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, the Iranian military said its drones targeted Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The statement claimed that the strikes hit fuel storage facilities, warehouses containing military equipment, and residential areas used by military personnel.

The Iranian military also claimed that its forces carried out attacks on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, also known as Al-Azraq Air Base, in Jordan. According to the statement, the strikes targeted aircraft hangars, maintenance facilities, and buildings used to house military personnel.

Iranian authorities did not provide details about the scale of the alleged damage or report whether the attacks caused casualties. The claims also have not been independently verified.

The Iranian military warned that any action against Iran’s interests could further destabilize the region and threaten economic security. The latest claims come amid heightened regional tensions and growing concerns that military confrontations could spread beyond existing conflict zones.

The alleged attacks, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in Iran’s military actions against US-linked facilities in the region and could increase pressure on Washington and its regional allies.
